Today Kalocsa embroidery is known as the most colourful Hungarian embroidery. It has also become the embroidery which represents Hungary all over the world. However, originally it wasn't that colourful. The pictures above are taken from Korai kalocsai hímzések (Early Kalocsa Embroidery) by János Bárth.

About the blog

ENGLISHI was a teaching assistant in Germany from 1st Septemer 2008 till Christmas. This page had been created so that I didn't have to carry many heavy books to Germany. Then I also uploaded some teaching materials of the lessons I taught so that others can also make use of them.Although I returned from Germany a long time ago, I often meet people from other countries who are curious about Hungarian culture. Therefore I decided to keep posting useful ideas on presenting culture through songs, hand crafts, quizes. You will find English language text in a different colour. The English text in most cases is not the translation of the Hungarian.
